(a joint stock limited liability company incorporated in the People's Republic of China)

This announcement is made by Qinhuangdao Port Co., Ltd.* (秦皇島港股份有限公司) (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the inside information provisions in Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board of directors (the "Board") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that based on the preliminary assessment of the Group's management accounts for the six months ended 30 June 2016 by the Company, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is expected to decrease by approximately 80%-90% as compared with the corresponding period of 2015. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue of the Group resulting from the decline in throughput of coals of Qinhuangdao Port, which was caused by the weakened supply and demand in the coal market, the increase in the number of southbound transportation channels for coals from northern region and the intensified competition from surrounding ports in the first half of 2016.
